I'd buy a Megs G220

Doesn't need a transformer

Monza car care do a polishing starter pack with compounds, pads, etc. circa £200

Ebay is your friend...

G220 is every bit as good as far as I know. I have the ultimate detailing machine and it's great (when I get a chance to use it!)

I have been using both the 7424 and the G220 they both have their plus and minus's but for this country I would go for the G220 just because you don't have to lug around a transformer.

I did recently do a group buy for the G220 at £139 and I should still be able to match that now. I can also supply you with polishing pads and compounds if you need them.

Not a problem, she can call me on 01707 885 886 or 0771 778 1484. My missus does not buy me gadgets although she has threatened to buy rubber matting for the garage.
